A selection of drawing-in and tying-in systems currently available are reviewed, including stationary warp tying-in, the Staubli Uni-Link system and the Staubli Delta 100 and 200 drawing-in systems. The Vega drawing-in machine from the Italian manufacturer, EL and M SpA, enables drawing-in to to be carried out from a yarn package and the warp can be tied-in either on the loom or by using a tying-in frame which is available separately. After tying-in, bonding is carried out using the Warplink system.
